I definitely preferred this book in comparison to the first book. Some of the twists were guessable

like Celaena being Fae and that the King has some ultimate world-shattering power stone

but some of them did catch me off guard

like Archer actually being responsible for Nehemia’s death, and that ultimately Nehemia likely had a way to possess Archer to kill her

. 

The angst between the characters was, at times, eye-roll worthy (looking at you specifically, Dorian); but I did find the scene where

Celaena gave Chaol a birthday surprise dinner on the rooftop,

to be very sweet and romantic. 

I probably wouldn’t read this book specifically again, but I am still intrigued by the series, so I will keep reading along.

4.5 ⭐️ 

The Crown of Midnight had more action and intrigue than Throne of Glass. Maas really does a good job of character building. Looking forward to reading the remainder of the series.

An amazing sequel that simply continues where the first book ended, without missing a beat. Never have I read a story that has such a natural flow of love and anger, everything makes perfect sense and feels entirely natural. I'm thoroughly impressed and am so glad to already have the next book in the series.
